Bonzo Wants To Go Out TV Ad - originally broadcast in 1984

Published 11 Mar 2021

*WARNING: This video contains graphic content and may be upsetting to some people* Do you know where your dog is right now? 📺We have revamped our #Bonzo Wants To Go Out video and the iconic TV ad is as relevant today as it was when first broadcast in 1984. 🐑🐾 #Bonzo has been relaunched to remind dog owners that the message is still the same, and worrying sheep still remains as big an issue as ever, particularly during #lambing season. Each year, dogs that are allowed to run free are a menace to sheep. Uncontrolled pets can decimate a flock, with reports suggesting that up to 4,000 #sheep are killed or seriously injured in #dog attacks every year. Pet owners are responsible for ensuring that their dogs are under control at all times. Sheep worrying can occur at any time of the year but it is hugely problematic when it happens during the lambing season. Up to 2.5 million lambs are born across the country every Spring. Sheep flocks are very vulnerable to dog attacks at this critical time, and especially during the night. https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/7dfb8-video-minister-mcconalogue-reminds-dog-owners-to-be-vigilant-during-lambing-season/
